Machine Head‘s polarizing new release “Catharsis” has opened at #65 on the Billboard 200. The album shifted roughly 9.000 units in the United States during its first week of release, down from the 18.200 sold units its predecessor “Bloodstone & Diamonds” (2014 ) did during its first week. Notably as Machine Head themselves claim below, the effort has performed admirably internationally: More...

Recording sessions for the upcoming album from ex-Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider seem completed. Hatebreed, etc. frontman Jamey Jasta was instrumental in the project, overseeing the production and more. As you can see below, singer Howard Jones (Light The Torch, ex-Killswitch Engage, etc.) was also involved in the project.

Nuclear Blast is delighted to announce that it has closed a record deal with long-running Los Angeles hardcore powerhouse Terror for Europe (Pure Noise Records for the rest of the world). The band is currently working on their 8th studio album, scheduled for a tentative summer 2018 release.

Commented Terror vocalist and main man Scott Vogel: "We are super excited to start a new chapter of Terror in Europe with NB. This is the label we wanted to work with for the future because of their strong presence and awesome roster. Can’t wait to put out a new album in the middle of 2018 with the label and work together on this next project."

Terror will be touring Europe alongside label mates Hatebreed and Madball as part of the renowned EMP Persistence Tour, kicking off next week in Berlin, Germany and finishing up in London on January 28th.

MetalDays is excited to announce Judas Priest as main headliner for 2018. The Metal Gods are one of the most-requested bands by the festival’s loyal fan base and will make their MetalDays debut in Tolmin on July 26th 2018.

More studio footage of vocalist Jamey Jasta‘s (Hatebreed) latest project with ex-Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider has been shared online. Jasta has also mentioned via Twitter that members of Toxic Holocaust are involved with the project as well. A previous tease of the pair working on new material can be found HERE.

"We have released a special song called “Hit Em With The Hein.” The short track is a tribute to a special saying from the Howard Stern Show that refers to one of the show’s many personalities, Jon Hein. Hein is a contributor to the show, as well as the host of the Howard Stern SiriusXM channel’s ‘Wrap Up Show.’ He is also known for creating the website and coining the phrase “jump the shark” to refer to the moment when a television show begins to go “downhill” in quality. Jamey Jasta is a big fan of the show and decided to metal things up with the saying that is now becoming quite commonplace."

The relationship between metal and hardcore is a funny one. Both the rivalry and the influences stem back to punk rock, which was initially something anti-heavy metal, before the likes of Motorhead showed both fan bases that common ground could be reached. To this day, both camps have fans that can't stand the other, as well as those who enjoy both genres. The two styles would combine a number of times to form such sub-genres as thrash metal, crossover and metalcore, the last of which was not always the easiest to define, but if ever one band could be described perfectly by the metalcore tag, it's today's featured group, Hatebreed.

Hatebreed began life in 1994 in New Haven, Connecticut, though some members hailed from Bridgeport, consisting of vocalist Jamey Jasta, guitarists Larry Dwyer, Jr. & Wayne Lozinak, bass player Chris Beattie and drummer Dave Russo. The quintet recorded three songs for a demo tape, which was handed out to members of the local hardcore scene before being included in a split release with Neglect. They followed this with an EP, "Under the Knife" in 1996 which included the three songs once more, as well as four other songs, all of which except the title track would later be re-recorded.

Hatebreed, Crowbar, Whitechapel, Prong, Kyng and Oni have today been added to the music lineup for the first annual Metal Maya, a 4-day all-inclusive heavy metal destination festival vacation. Packages start at $1399 per person and are on sale now at this location.

Metal Maya takes place from October 29th - November 2nd at the luxurious Now Sapphire Riviera Cancun, just south of Cancun in the paradise of Puerto Morelos on Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. In addition, Lamb of God’s Chris Adler joins Metal Maya as an event host.

New Haven, CT based hardcore group Hatebreed has announced the first European headline run in support of most recent album, "The Concrete Confessional." See all dates below.

Commented singer Jamey Jasta: "Finally we are coming to Europe to headline in support of 'The Concrete Confessional!' It’s going to be great to hit the road with our friends in Dying Fetus on the 1st leg of the tour! See you in the pit!”

A bunch of new bands have been announced for the 22nd edition of Brutal Assault, which takes place this year in Fortress Josefov near Jaromer in the Czech Republic on August 9-12. Returning once more are heavy-weights Hatebreed, who last graced the fortress stages in 2012 and 2013. This is reportedly in response to festival-goers requests for more hardcore in the line-up.

The Dillinger Escape Plan will be including the festival in their series of farewell dates. It looks like the band's appearance here won't be affected by the bus crash that caused some European tour dates to be cancelled last month. Dillinger last played Brutal Assault in 2015.

Thrash veterans Overkill, touring in support of their recently released 18th studio album, "The Grinding Wheel", have also been added. No stranger to the fortress stage, Overkill last appeared at the festival in 2013.

Helsinki's Wintersun are newcomers to Brutal Assault, appearing for the first time. Can we assume they will be playing material from their long-awaited third album? There's no official word as yet. More...

This year's Warped Tour is set to take place from mid-June through early August, but until today the lineup was a big question mark.

KillTheMusic.net is reporting that part of the lineup has leaked, and will include GWAR (which makes sense, as the band canceled this year's GWAR-B-Q with the statement that "GWAR is about to take on the craziest year of touring").

It's important to note that the source of the leak was not identified, so this may be pure speculation. KillTheMusic issued this statement:

According to our sources, we learned the following facts about this year’s Warped Tour:

Bad Religion, Lagwagon, CKY, Black Veil Brides, Beartooth, Hatebreed, and GWAR are a few of the many bands playing the year.

5 bands from Fat Wreck Chords and 5 from Epitaph.

25 bands cut from the usual lineup to ensure this year is quality.

Assuming this leak doesn't change any plans, the full lineup is due to be announced on March 22nd, 2017 with the planned tour routing available below. More...
